Pros

People that work at Eastman genuinely care for coworkers. The environment is very collaborative. There is no back-stabbing here. Folks actually want everyone to succeed.

Cons

Upper management has made very poor choices over the past two years. Their mistakes have resulted in folks being forced into retirement before they were ready. There have been no cuts in upper management to help with profits shortfalls. They just look at the numbers that we call employee ID numbers and cross them off. It is time for a new CEO and CFO.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
